Lot 502
A George III burr yew and sycamore crossbanded oval Pembroke table, circa 1780, with a single drawer on square tapering legs and castors, 72cm high, the top 89cm x 61cm overall. Provenance: Dumfries House, Dumfries & Galloway, Scotland. Following her marriage to Lord James Charles Crichton-Stuart in 1970 (son of the 5th Marquess of Bute and Lady Eileen Beatrice Forbes), Anna Rose and her husband received this Pembroke table as a gift from the furnishings of Dumfries House. The furniture collection is exceptional and is the most important collection of works from Thomas Chippendale’s Director period and the most comprehensive range of pieces produced by important Edinburgh furniture makers Alexander Peter, William Mathie and Francis Brodie. Whilst it has proven a challenge at this point to firmly attribute this table to a particular cabinet maker, the overall design and quality of the piece strongly suggests that it was made in the workshop of one of the finest cabinet makers of the period. The classic design of the table would entice possible attributions to the designs of Chippendale, Hepplewhite, Sheraton, the Linnell brothers, Mayhew & Ince, and possibly more, including some of the prominent Scottish makers that were commissioned to provide furnishings for Dumfries House. Whilst attribution of the making or design of this table is possible to a number of firms, research and evidence at this point has pointed positively towards an attribution to the firm of Mayhew & Ince. As discussed in Gilbert and Beard,The Dictionary of English Furniture Makers, 1986, the use of yew wood by Mayhew & Ince was the ‘only wholly idiosyncratic veneer wood the firm used and possibly unique’ to the firm among London cabinet-makers of this date, p. 593. Additionally, ‘moulded borders of commodes, tables and chests, especially when free of ormolu mounts, were often strengthened by ebonizing, a highly unusual device perhaps unique to the firm.’; op. cit. For a related piece of furniture in the Dumfries House collection, also attributed to Mayhew & Ince, See Christie’s catalogue, Dumfries House (Volume II) lot 195 for a George III serpentine commode (included in the 1795 & 1803 inventories). According to Christies footnote for the lot this commode belongs to a later phase of decoration at Dumfries, the commode was probably commissioned by Patrick, 6th Earl of Dumfries following his marriage in 1771 to Margaret Crauford, it bears many features in common with lady Palmerston’s French- fashioned bureau that was supplied in 1782 by the ‘Golden Square firm’ of Messrs John Mayhew & William Ince, it was inventoried in 1797 in her own apartments at Broadlands, Hampshire by Lady Palmerston as a ‘secretary made by Ince (17)82. (H.Roberts, ‘Towards an English Louis Seize. Furniture at Broadlands, Hampshire-11’, Country Life, 5th February 1981, p.346, fig.1’. For a related Pembroke table firmly attributed to Mayhew & Ince see Lot 110, Sotheby’s New York, 15th April 2010. A very similar harewood and yewwood marquetry Pembroke table attributed to Mayhew & Ince with entwined pearl strings, yewwood oval panels was sold, Christie’s, London, April 23, 2009, lot 186 (£12,500); an identical pair to this was sold, Christie’s, New York, April 25, 2008, lot 68 ($51,000).
Lot 507
A Regency mahogany and ebony marquetry library breakfront bookcase, in the manner of Marsh and Tatham, circa 1810, the cornice with bands of pendant moulding and fluting, above arched astragal cupboards opening to shelves above an arrangement of panelled cupboards with re-entrant marquetry and with line and dot marquetry, on a plinth base, 232cm high, 236cm wide, 53cm deep. The superb quality of this secretaire-bookcase cabinet indicates the work of a cabinet maker of distinction, with it simple elegance of design. There is a drawing, circa 1800, by Henry Holland for a wardrobe and another of a bookcase for Woburn Abbey, circa 1788, both of which are worth comparison. Both drawings feature elongated upper panels and square lower panels, ‘panelled’ uprights and plinth bases; see Peter Ward-Jackson, English Furniture Designs of the 18th century, London, 1984, pls. 300-301. Henry Holland collaborated with the London firm of Marsh and Tatham on a number of commissions, notably at Southill Park in Bedfordshire and also at Woburn, where they supplied the 6th Duke of Bedford with ‘Cabinet and Upholstery Work’. Related bookcases made by Marsh and Tatham for the Prince of Wales, later George IV, at Carlton House share the same panelled uprights and stepped plinth, one with ebony inlay; see H. Roberts, For the King’s Pleasure: The Furnishing and Decoration of George IV’s Apartments at Windsor Castle, London, 2001, p. 312, fig. 379, p. 333, fig. 414, p. 406, fig. 481). For a related example see Sotheby’s New York, Lot 212, 16th October 2009. The ebony line and dot marquetry as visible on this bookcase, is a feature commonly associated with furniture by Marsh and Tatham. Thomas Tatham and William Marsh, cabinet makers, No. 13 Mount Street, Grosvenor Square circa 1795-1809. Principal cabinet makers to Prince of Wales (later George IV) from 1795 onwards. Marsh retired in 1809 and the firm later became Tatham, Bailey and Saunders. The distinctive domed design of the astragals are also very similar to a design of a recess attributed to Thomas Chippendale, Junior at Harewood House, Yorkshire. See Georgian cabinet makers by Ralph Edwards and Margaret Jourdain, Billing & Sons Ltd, 1944, p 172.
